Sleeping anxiety

Anyone else get a shock like panic sensation right before falling into a deep sleep? This is so weird and has been happening for years now. Some worse then others. Would be nice if some of you could shed some light my way.

Thank you😊

I have been diagnosed with sleep palatalization its a feeling of like your asleep and wake at the same time.. its always very frighting.. I get this feeling like something is going to happen and when I try to move I cant.. I try to hell for help and I cant.. my husband said I was sleeping one day and I was reaching and trying to say something but my lips didn't move.. it happens most of the time at the begging of falling asleep.. and when trying to wake up in the am.

You're now alone in this, this happens to me often! I know exactly how this feels. It's as if you're trying to move when it happens but you can't and then you finally force yourself to break out of it!

I hope it gets better for you!
